Even if their status gap was enormous, Dawn would never take Leon’s side.

“If you really love her, Anna will fight the world to be with you. But if you don’t care about her…”

Dawn paused, her voice turning cold. “As long as Anna needs me, I’ll do whatever it takes to help her.”

Even if that meant helping her leave him.

She turned to go, but Leon grabbed her wrist.

“So, you mean you’ll help her and not me?”

“Mr. Graves, are you sick or something?”

She was Anna’s friend, so she was obviously on Anna’s side. What kind of question was that?

Before Dawn could pull free, an angry voice came from behind them. “What are you two doing?”

Dawn rolled her eyes.

What did it look like?

Couldn’t he see she was the one being held?

She yanked her hand back, glanced at Ethan, then at Leon—and laughed in disbelief.

Men. Not one of them were decent.

Without another word, Dawn strode toward the exit. Mason had just finished chatting with a few executives and immediately followed when he saw her storming out.

“Ms. West, something wrong?”

“Does an emotional meltdown count?”

Mason paused. “It counts.”

“Good.” Dawn opened the car door. “Let’s go. I’ve had enough.”

“Yes, Ms. West.” Mason climbed into the driver’s seat without question.

The moment he sat down, the rear door opened again, and a tall figure slid into the back seat, instantly filling the space.

Dawn blinked. “What are you doing here?”

Ethan looked calm. “I’ve been drinking. Ms. West, be kind and give me a ride.”

Dawn’s eyelid twitched. She faced forward and said flatly, “I’m not driving. It’s not my call.”

“If you can’t even make that call, you don’t need a driver.”

“What?”

She turned to him in disbelief. “Mr. Jackson, do you always meddle in people’s private lives?”

“No.” Ethan’s eyes burned into hers. “Only yours.”

Dawn gave a dry laugh. “Well, I don’t listen.”

“Get out.”

He didn’t even flinch. He stretched his legs, leaned back, and closed his eyes as if he owned the place.

Mason glanced at her in the mirror, silently asking for direction.

“Ms. West?”

She’d never seen him so shameless before. Half–annoyed and half–amused, she finally sighed. “Didn’t he say he wanted a ride? Then take him home.”

She shifted slightly away from Ethan to keep some distance.

Everything was fine at first.

But after a while, as the car drove on, he somehow got closer and closer until his head rested against her shoulder.

Dawn was already on edge, and that sudden contact nearly made her snap.

She was about to shove him off, but then she saw his face.

He was asleep. Up close, she could see the dark circles under his eyes. His breathing was deep

and steady, as if he hadn’t truly rested in a long time.

She bit back her irritation.

Forget it.

If she woke him, it would only start another round of drama.

She might as well do a small good deed.

Mason caught the whole thing through the rearview mirror and silently stepped on the gas.

The car rolled into the villa district and stopped at the gate of Eastcrest Regency Residence.

“Ms. West, we’re here.”

“Ethan.”

Dawn nudged his shoulder. “We’re here.”

His eyelashes trembled, and he opened his eyes.

This was exactly why Dawn had fallen for him so fast. Those eyes–dark, deep, and full of light, like scattered stars–could pull anyone in with just one look.

She froze for a moment, then looked away.

“We’re here. Get out.”

“I’m drunk.”

His gaze locked on her, his voice low and husky from sleep. “Ms. Porter, could you walk me in?”

Dawn gritted her teeth. “Ethan, don’t push your luck.”

“Hmm.”

He looked a little dazed and leaned toward her again, brushing her shoulder before pulling back. “I’m really dizzy.”

Yeah, dizzy all right.

Dawn took a deep breath, unbuckled her seat belt, and got out.

She walked around the car and yanked open the door on his side. “Get out.”

A faint smile flickered across his face as he stepped out slowly, unhurried as ever. He reached out and pinched her cheek lightly–gentle, yet suggestive.

“Thanks for taking pity on me, Ms. Porter. Hope I’ll get another chance next time.”

Another chance, my foot.

Dawn shot him a glare and got back in the car.

“Drive.”

Mason gave Ethan one last look, said nothing, and pulled away.
